I didn't have the privilege of meeting Pepe or seeing his work out on the playa, but I do know he raised the standard for what could be achieved there with his art. May his legacy live on. Thank you Pepe Ozan

We passed the yearsthrough joy and strife,We'd slay the beastswith swordor knifetogether, we could win

How do we say "Goodbye"?

But;Now for you,The Curtain falls,You will be missed,in Friendships halls.So,Proud I standAnd shed a tear,Our times were good,Our friendship dear,

GoodbyeMy Friend,Goodbye............H

and this:

to hold the souls of the deadin your graspand as if to say:"no, don't go, I want you.""it's all about me..........and my desire"don't follow the light, don't do what must be done.I, am what's important. linger, here, suffer, as I do.

no, no, that's not right.We hold memory dear, we dream, we re-livewe miss them and want the best.

and,we must let go........we must allow them, to travel to the distant shore, to wake, from the nightmare we hold them in.

How selfish, to hold them here........their love for youremains, but, the body does not......and, the soul is tortured.

release, love and release, for it is the way of things.

will you meet again? who knows, one would think not, but, as souls intertwine, and pass each other in the crowded place of man..........one can hope, only to recognize........but, one can hope to catch the tide, as well.............

I loved youI love youand on this plane, I always will.I will remember, and, I will let you go.Go, go now to your destiny, seek the path, find the bed, rest, and start again........

Ygmir,you were you heart on your sleeve. Those exceptional words honoring your friend will always be with you. Missing the physical being is the hardest part, but his memory will always be sweet. And he's resting in peace. (((ygmir)))

Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.
